The first room we were in- the bed frame had blood stains on both sides so they were very accommodating and moved us. Then ar 2 in the morning a man walked into our room while we were sleeping ; ended up being one worker but I didn’t sleep the rest of the night. Needless to say I won’t be back.

Ok if you want bare bones room

This is bare bones hotel. The closet is a rack out in open area and had one hanger that looked like the metal hanger from dry cleaner. Had a king sized bed with pillows so small they looked like throw pillows for on a sofa. The TV did not work. We had to go to front desk to request shampoo and a hair dryer. There was very little breakfast food left when I got to breakfast room at 8 am. Some cold cereal and a few bagels and English muffins. No evidence of any fruit, yogurt, eggs or anything hot.
